Elite Fitness

I've never been a member of a gym before but decided to join in order to prepare for upcoming hip replacement surgery, especially as I'd stopped playing tennis and pickleball due to the hip issues. Great decision. I could still train quite hard on the exercise bike without too much pain for example (pre op). I was back in the gym for the first time post surgery within a week! Just incredibly gently to start with. It's given me a focus to my rehabilitation and I go there most days (the short walk there helps too). The staff gave me a very good introduction and I'm confident now in using the equipment. Still only 3 weeks since surgery but I'm pushing a tiny bit harder each day hoping to get back to tennis and pickleball sooner rather than later. It's great for goal setting and targeting. The staff are friendly and helpful and it's rarely too busy. I've even made new 'friends'!

I value my membership of Elite fitness because it helps to keep me fit and healthy, the equipment is excellent, the gym is well managed and it is a friendly environment in which to train. It managed the pandemic very well providing the controls to protect gym users and keep them safe from the virus and I applaud them for their diligence over a very difficult period.

My wife and I, both in our 70s, have been members at Elite Fitness for well over a year and try to visit 3 times a week. Every single one of the staff is so helpful and knowledgeable. Russell is a great leader and communication between the staff and customers is first rate. The gym is clean and extremely well equipped. Having the free car park opposite helps too!

If I'm being honest this is a pretty terrible gym which claims to have a strong focus on customer service" which is completely false. I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone unless you're a retired old women because that's the only people they seem to care about. The contract system is also a complete scam as they always require you to pay an additional month even if you have no intent to continue training. Like seriously who plans on quitting a gym a month in advance like its just ridiculous. When you do finally cancel you have to go through about a million emails just to actually cancel your subscription. Especially if you're an elderly gym user I can understand how this may be difficult. The gym itself is also far to small to see any real progress if you plan to have a similar physique to any of the instructors. A lot of the machines have fairly tatty leather on them which can sometimes be very irritating and uncomfortable when using. Honestly I just don't recommend this gym its far to small

I’ve been a member of Elite for more than 3 years. I was surprised tonight that my comments about how cold the gym was with the windows open at -2 degrees were received by a member talking with Russel as ‘work harder’ and by Russel that nobody else has said anything. Everyone in the background were commenting on how cold it was and nobody felt open to be able to say it.I went in tonight on my birthday very happily and left unhappily and left and paid to go to another gym that had no similar issues to deal with.I am generally a robust character but my gripe here was the assumption that it was my issue alone and I was treated as having an issue rather than attempting to address the point I raised.

More than just a gym! Whilst there is all the equipment and advice you need to get/keep as fit as you'd like, this is also a place where everyone feels welcome. I've seen all ages from school students to elderly and people of all levels of fitness from serious trainers to those who just want to keep mobile. Russell has created a real community amongst the members with classes and events open to all members. I'm definitely not a lycra clad goddess but I can thoroughly recommend Elite Fitness.

I posted a review yesterday after a degree of frustration at the gym. The gym owner Russel has today specifically phoned me to try and ascertain why I was so frustrated. I must thank him for taking the time and trying to deal with the issue directly with me. As I noted in my review I am generally very happy with Elite Gym and it’s staff and the atmosphere within the establishment over the past 3 or more years. I was frustrated and somewhat confused that a simple request to not have the windows wide open when the outside air was at -2 seemed complex. That said, it is a good gym with good staff and the occasional frustrated client.

I cannot recommend this gym enough!! As a newbie I was very nervous about joining. Its the best decision I made. The gym has all the equipment you need and always has stations free. The staff are amazing and every single one approachable. I have been having PT sessions with Lewis who has been amazing. He has a huge amount of knowledge, has given me a lot of confidence and pushed me to meet my fitness goals. Whether it's weight loss or building muscles, he knows everything there is to know and will go through everything you are doing in detail. Could not rate this guy any higher!!! Love this place!!

Great small but well equipped gym, covers all my needs and much more.Staff always friendly and willing to help if required.Been a member for several years and enjoy the fact that the gym really does cater for everyone, all ages, abilities and also the desires of those wishing to use the gym. Whether your desire is be get cardio fit or build muscle, its a gym with no ego and a genuinely open and friendly place

Great atmosphere in the gym. Very supportive trainers. Great during lockdown, lending equipment to members so we could keep up with workouts at home.
